00:00Right, with the new Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Los Angeles launching a new task force to

00:04investigate how billions of dollars in homeless funding has been spent. Grand juries, subpoenas,

00:10even arrests are all on the table. Matt Finn is reporting live from Los Angeles on this.

00:16You sat down with the U.S. attorney. What did you learn?

00:21Well, Sandra, the Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, and L.A. mayor, Karen Bass,

00:26they take a lot of heat for the ongoing homeless crisis here. Well, now there's a new Republican,

00:32MAGA-aligned United States attorney here in Los Angeles, Bill Assaylee. He just launched

00:37a federal probe investigating exactly where California's homeless dollars are going. The

00:43FBI and IRS are going to assist. Assaylee estimates $24 billion in homeless funding statewide over the

00:50past five years. Much of that's spent here in Southern California. We will get to the bottom

00:56of it, and if we find that any federal laws are violated, we will arrest and prosecute those

01:01individuals involved. The new U.S. attorney points to a recent audit that revealed more than $2 billion

01:08in homeless funds is unaccounted for here in L.A. County alone. We want to know who's getting the

01:14money and who's benefiting off this because it's not the homeless people here in Los Angeles. The

01:19problem's gotten worse. There's about seven people dying every night on our streets,

01:23and that's unacceptable.

01:28Governor Gavin Newsom and the chair of the L.A. County supervisors tell Fox they welcome

01:32Assaylee's investigation. However, L.A. mayor Karen Bass, who says homeless numbers dropped by 10%

01:38last year, she says she doesn't want the investigation to be, quote, a fishing expedition

01:43or a distraction from her homeless mission. Now, there is also a federal judge here, David Carter,

01:49who is pictured touring Skid Row this past Sunday with Assaylee. The judge calls L.A. Homeless

01:55Services the Rocky Horror Picture Show. He is also aggressively auditing homeless dollars here. He told

02:01Mayor Bass and the L.A. County supervisors he's going to be their worst nightmare if they don't fix it by

02:06next month. Sandra. Matt Finna with that story for us. Matt, thank you. And that doesn't.
